It’s really much easier to understand when one leads off and sets up and there is less giggling.

Their opinions are even more clear.

Callers sound good. The calls are short, the responses are short, and it really feels like the show has a tight, inviting community.

…

What needs some attention…

Even though the giggling and talking over is much better they still have to work on it. Some hours it’s still there like nothing changed. Example below.

Now that the topic setups and opinions are easier to understand, we need more insight . More why theythink this way. More of their beliefs. This is a prep thing. They have to ask themselves why they think what they do, maybe think of a personal experience that adds.

Lightning round needs two things: It needs to be explained much better so new listeners know what it is and how it works. It’s very inside (example below). Also it might make more sense for them to prep their responses to the stories. It can and should be set up to be implied that it’s all spontaneous, but I’d they had more witty, insightful immediate responses to Matt’s stories, it would really pop.

We need better Formatics. They need to explain who is whom, who the producer works, how the benchmarks work, etc. this will really help the show not feel so exclusive with such a high barrier to entry.
